In the past 100 years, the two countries that have had the greatest influence on China are Russia and Japan. Russia was originally a European country. China was in civil strife and the Manchu Qing Dynasty took the opportunity to invade China. China lost control of North Asia. Russia took the opportunity to devour North Asia.
, and expanded to the Heilongjiang Basin. By exchanging land for peace, Russia formed an alliance with the Qing Dynasty in Manchuria to help the Qing Dynasty suppress the Mongolian tribes. After the Opium War, Russia further invaded China. In the name of mediation, Russia threatened and intimidated the Qing Dynasty and annexed the northern part of Heilongjiang.
As well as a large area of ??land in western Xinjiang, it controls the entire Heilongjiang Basin. Japan was originally an island country in the East China Sea and was culturally backward. The Sui and Tang Dynasties began to accept Chinese culture and therefore became a civilized country. Due to war, Japan's central air power over the local areas was weak. After the United States invaded Japan
, the various Japanese princes who were in the stage of division discovered that European and American weapons were advanced, so they devoted themselves to learning European and American culture. The country quickly unified and became one of the great powers. Due to its lack of resources, Japan has a strong sense of crisis, and has historically had the ambition to annex North Korea.
, and therefore embarked on the path of militaristic expansion. Through the large amount of compensation paid during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the military industry was rapidly developed. Although there was the Opium War and so on, European and American countries were too far away from China. Even if they occupied large areas of China's territory, they could not hold it. And Russia
Japan is different. They are right next to China. If they occupy a little territory, they can defend a little territory. So they have great ambitions towards China. Since they both want to invade China from the Northeast, the competition between Russia and Japan for the Northeast has become fierce.
A war broke out. As a result, the two countries carved up Northeast China. Russia occupied Outer Mongolia and Japan occupied the Korean Peninsula. The two countries not only invaded China militarily, but also carried out economic and cultural penetration. Russia basically controlled the industries in northern Northeast China and Outer Mongolia, while Japan controlled
The industries in the southern part of Northeast China and the Shandong Peninsula were invaded. It also turned the Korean Peninsula into a base for the invasion of China. The cultural forces of both countries also rushed to enter China. Because Russia is a European country, there is a big gap between China and Russia, so the cultural invasion is mainly Orthodox Christianity/
Maoism, etc. Since Japan itself is a Chinese culture, it is more attractive to China. A large number of intellectuals went to Japan to learn advanced culture. During the First World War, Japan took the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence and once conquered Russia.
Forces were expelled from the Northeast. Russia in China can only influence Outer Mongolia. Japan has been discriminated against by European countries because it is a yellow country. Therefore, Japan does not have a good impression of European countries. Japan has a sense of crisis. But Japan understands Chinese history and history.
No country that offends China will have a good end. Japan does not want to subjugate its country and destroy its species, so it does not dare to fully invade China. Therefore, Japan does not have a unified strategic arrangement for China. Therefore, after Japan invades China, it has a tactical advantage, but
It has long failed strategically. This determines that Japan will be driven away by China and will never be forgiven by China! Russia took advantage of Japan's invasion of China to increase its control over China's Mongolia region and Northeast Xinjiang. It fostered pro-Soviet support in China
power and seize securities. After World War II, Japan was completely defeated. It was not easy to retain the country. It returned the northeastern Taiwan and other places that invaded China. Its influence on China only remained in the cultural aspect. Through the Korean War, China completely separated from Europe.
The United States severed ties and the Soviet Union took full control of China. From then on, a one-sided situation emerged. After Stalin's death, China gradually became stronger and got rid of its dependence on the Soviet Union. Therefore, China and the Soviet Union turned against each other. The United States wooed China and formed an anti-Soviet alliance with China.
brought down the Soviet Union. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the alliance between the United States and China ended and became a competitive relationship. China wooed Russia to fight against the United States, which is now the "China-Russia Strategic Partnership." But from a geopolitical perspective, China and Russia
There are irreconcilable contradictions. Either China will drive Russia out of Asia, or Russia will annex China. Therefore, the friendship between the two countries is only temporary. After World War II, Japan became a dwarf in terms of hemorrhoids, but it continued to grow economically and became the world's No. 1
The second economic power. Its influence on China has expanded from culture to economy. Japan has restored its status as an Asian island country and is dependent on the United States and China in all aspects. China can live without Japan, but Japan cannot live without China. This is the tragedy of Japan
Current situation. It is conceivable that in the future there will inevitably be a showdown between China and Russia. If Japan wants to continue to exist, it can only be a satellite country of China.
